Where Entrepreneurs, Lawyers And Caregivers Can Learn About The Cannabis Industry

With Cannabis newly legal in some fashion in most of the United States, an entire entrepreneurial and medical industry is growing up around it. But where can business people, lawyers, growers and others who are interested in learning more about the ecosystem go to expand their knowledge on the topic?

Dennis Mehaffey a contributor to www.BusinessStudent.com compiled a list of some of the courses including the scientific, business and legal aspects of marijuana. It’s a great sign for the cannabis industry that there are so many choices, he said.

Technology makes it easier for accredited schools to offer these kinds of classes, and offering them online dramatically expands their potential student base said Mehaffey.

He lists seven courses.

UC Davis – Physiology of Cannabis: This class is designed for biology majors, with a focus on how cannabis affects a human body, including the drug’s therapeutic values.

JJ McKay, founder of The Fresh Toast, a cannabis-content publisher says he has found broad interest in learning about cannabis. Half of his readers are female, and they are spread across the country. For his readership, “Cannabis 101” would be the most popular followed by “How to use cannabis as a caregiver,” he said.

The growth of classes like the ones on the list isn’t surprising said Mehaffey. Students understand “the value of becoming a true expert in their chosen industry.”
